      40/40/20 40% carbs, 40% protein, 20% fat.

      Calcualte your maintence level and eat more than that to gain weight. Hell even apps like myfitnesspal track it all for you. all you got to be is plug in your starting weight and goal weight and it give you the calories you need.

      but will myfitnesspal give it as 40/40/20? or will it just give a general good diet?

      It tracks your calories for you and breaks them down in a pie chart. Mine says 55/15/30, but I just follow the 40/40/20. You can tweak it to do that as well.

      Not really. that still gives you 42 hours a week to workout

      168 total hours in a week minus 70 for work leave you with 98. Subtract 56 for sleeping and you get 42 hours left. All you need is 45 minutes to 1 hour 3-4 days a week to workout.

      This^

      Plus few advices that I followed and works for me.

      * there are few options to get lean. 1. calculate you calories, intake a deficit 2. get lifting.

      * Muscles will consume calories, hence weightlifting with real lifts ( like 5x5, SS, All Pro or 5/3/1)

      * Cardio is for achieving and maintaining cardiovascular state, will not help you grow muscles so do cardio with moderation

      * Situps won't get rid of your tummy, diet does. (unless you exchange every meal with a sit up session) , core excesises strenghten you core stability however but so does proper lifts like Dead lifts and Squats.

      edit: trust Jason on this
